Curtis was born to Edwin and Beverly (Dormanen) Lund on October 4, 1958 in Park Rapids. It was in Menahga that he spent the first two years of his life before his family moved to Detroit Lakes. Curt attended the public schools in Detroit Lakes, where he was active in athletics and was a standout center on the Detroit Lakes Lakers hockey team.
